So what?
Get over it.
Stop commuting in an SUV.
Quit driving 30 miles at the drop of a hat.
Maybe you should try the bus.

Thanks for the advice. Though most of it doesn't really apply to me.

When speaking with people I know, the cost of gasoline having reached $3.00/gal and apparently heading toward $4.00/gal strikes most of them as high.

I haven't run into too many people such as yourself that don't seem to mind. Perhaps your just an optimist (always on the sunny side) and just don't like to hear anyone complain.

In case I wasn't clear in my previous posts my gripe is with the economist/author:

I can run the price and inflation numbers myself, and I get significantly different results.
I don't appreciate his spin.
